- You can mute guitar strings the with the left
hand, right side of the palm, or a combination of
both.

first (SEE PICTURE 1).
- Lay any or all fingers across
the guitar strings at the same time that you
release the pressure on the guitar chord.

(SEE PICTURE 2). Do this just like the Palm muting (See
Palm muting) , but put the palm down
on the strings wherever your right hand happens to be strumming.
- Strum the mute the exact same way that you would
strum a guitar chord, but use more wrist since
your palm is on the strings.
